Migrate from 2.6.9-67.ELsmp 2.6.9-67.ELlargesmp in RAC Cluster?

61838Apr 22 2009 — edited Apr 22 2009

We have a 7 node RAC cluster running on Redhat 2.6.9-67.ELsmp that we are adding two additional nodes to. The existing nodes have 8 cores each. The new nodes have 16 cores each. For linux to identify the 16 cores on the new servers we need to run the 2.6.9-67.ELlargesmp kernel. Can I compile the exisiting nodes with the 2.6.9-67.ELsmp kernel to the 2.6.9-67.ELlargesmp kernel and then add the new nodes? I would assume I would need to replace the asm drivers to 2.6.9-67.ELlargesmp version and I would need to relink the Oracle binaries to the new kernel. Does this sound feasible? Has anyone done this?

Thanks,
-Rich
